SLE 2017 paper:
Concrete Syntax: A Multi-Paradigm Modelling Approach

Yentl Van Tendeloo, Simon Van Mierlo, Bart Meyers, Hans Vangheluwe

• DOI: 10.1145/3136014.3136017
• T1A: Design
  • It proposes a multi-paradigm approach to defining concrete syntax, i.e., language design of notations.
• T3C: DSLs
  • The work is motivated by domain-specific modeling languages and how their syntax is defined.
• T4F: Visualisation
  • Concrete syntax work typically spans visual/textual notations, and the paper explicitly targets multi-paradigm (incl. visual) syntax.
• T1D: Composition
  • It emphasises coordinating multiple syntactic paradigms for the same language, requiring integration between notation forms.
